Soooo this week's topic in my sociology class is [u]race and ethnicity[/u]
You can take this test to see which race you associate things with

Where I live, you don't see mixed couples a lot.
And guys aren't very open to what kinda girl they would date
Too many times have I been told "You're pretty, but I don't date[i] black [/i]girls."
So yeah, it still matters in some places, does it matter to you? Would you maybe go for an Asian girl and not a black girl? Is it the culture or the physical traits that scare you away? Does it matter what your family thinks?
I'd like to share the results in my class discussion, thanks.
Edit:
Yes I'm a black girl, equivalent to a unicorn apparently
My parents have been together for 30yrs SO yes I have a -blam!-ing dad
I have been dating a white guy 4 1/2 years
However him being white has nothing to do with it, I actually don't have strong physical attraction to him.
I base my attraction on masculinity, not the color of someone's skin.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACE AND ETHNICITY PLEASE
-
Yeah I would it is just that most people are the same race as me, so it would be unlikely to date somebody of another race
-
I wouldn't not date someone because of their race if that's what you're asking.
-
Matters about as much as hair or eye color to me, which in my case isn't much. Sure, certain colors may be slightly more attractive alone, but that factor is usually so insignificant as to be irrelevant when I'm attracted to someone.
-
I did prior to getting hitched. Dated a black girl, asian, and indian before settling down. Never a latina though which is kind of funny considering I live in Texas. That makes me laugh now that I think about it. It's all about personality, smile and body. Brains are ok too I suppose :)

Sadly I can't find another jew in this hick town

Edited by Give her the dps: 4/8/2016 9:00:30 PMWomen are beautiful from everywhere
-
It wouldn't matter. But I already have a girl. All I want is her.
-
I currently date outside of my race.
-
Does not matter to me. [spoiler]Plus I'm too lonely to be picky. :')[/spoiler]
-
I clicked no. I would have relations with an animal that way The [b][u]HUMAN RACE[/u][/b] are the only beings i will have relations with. #saynotoanimalabuse
-
yeah I'd date any girl of any race. it doesn't really matter as much as skin color as it does features to me
-
I hope this is really good b8

Edited by qwej: 4/9/2016 11:41:42 PMNah it doesn't matter.
-
Voted yes, since before I actually start liking a girl in a romantic light, they sort of have to intrigue me with their personality. Looks come second.
-
It depends really.
-
Race does matter Oh no, not because their skin is that colour but rather that we all have our different cultures and different perceptions of beauty! If you're a black girl and dress like one (stereotypically), black guys may be attracted but white guy's won't. Dress decently and delicately and you will have a MUCH greater chance of getting a white guy. We have different preferences but, most importantly, we all like quality people looking of higher quality and being of a kind heart

-
Race isn't something I consider when I consider potential partners...
-
Well as long as I find her attractive and she's got a nice personality I don't care for race.
-
I don't see a problem with it. It really depends on the person and if I'm attracted to them specifically.
-
I date almost exclusively outside my race. The last time I slept with a black girl was ages ago.
-
As long as I'm attracted idc about the race.
-
I would date people outside my own race but i tend to see people of the same race as more attractive. Not dating because of race is pretty much the definition of prejudice.
-
It would depend on how different they were from my own. The more you can relate to each other, the better.

Edited by pValue2010: 4/8/2016 8:28:03 PMI need to be physically attracted to someone I'm dating, and while I've seen attractive women from all races, some do it for me more than others... Also, where I work there are a lot of women from India and China who grew up in their native countries, and the cultural difference is a bit much. So short answer, yes, but usually not.
